[Leica] Building in Van Wert

Nice composition

OTT - Bureau de Tabac aka tobaconist’s shops still feature a sign that we call a carrot

Bureau de tabac was also the place where we kids could buy gums and comics - imagine the attractiveness … ;-)

These cigar boxes all had "Van Wert Tobacco Co" stickers on the bottom. My mother's sister moved from Fort Wayne to Van Wert when she got married, and her family never left.  My uncle (Paul "Pete" Brenner, the husband of my mother's sister) owned that tobacco shop, and gave his relatives lots of empty boxes.
